Coffee seems an obvious scapegoat for stress, but do you have to quit drinking it to relax? Not exactly. Sure, you can quit coffee and maybe even feel a little relieved (once getting past the withdrawal phase). But do you stop carrying stress forever after? The answer to this question proves that coffee isn’t itself the sole culprit, a contributing factor it may be. And, if this isn’t enough evidence, witness the millions of non-coffee-drinkers who yet suffer the effects of s

We all stay up past our bedtimes at some point. Some of us more than others, in fact. And, sometimes, more often than we would like, we have to get up super early in spite of it. But sleep can always be recouped somehow, even if not until the weekend. The real sleep issues are those of quality, not quantity of sleep. What about those times when you sleep 8 hours and then wake up as though you hadn’t slept at all? What about waking up exhausted? What causes this phenomenon and

You made the resolution. Easy. You signed up for a gym membership or started a diet program. Even easier. You started and found it wasn’t easy at all. In fact, it was downright painful both physically and emotionally. Exhaustion sets in and, instead of results, a nagging feeling of “just give up” creeps in. You think “well, maybe next year” and old habits resume. Here is the story of nearly every weight loss program ever embarked-upon by would-be “losers” who just couldn’t be

2016 was a year of many things; a bit of a crazy year in many ways. The American election alone was enough to sum up some of the more stressful points. But inroads were made too, for positive change. A great deal of good happened as well. Amidst all of it, and for us here at the Instant CalMag-C, we made strides toward our goal to improve health, reduce stress and influence a world-wide calm. And, a time when we typically think of peace on Earth is the perfect opportunity to

If it is so important, why are we not getting enough sleep? Nearly everyone knows the value of getting enough sleep, yet so many suffer from lack of it. It is a classic paradox. You know you need it. You knowingly deprive yourself of it. Sometimes, however, it isn’t you. Often it comes from external sources. Here are a few sleep roadblocks which can help clarify sleep deprivation and reveal ways to handle it. Pain may inhibit getting enough sleep No one wants to experience pa

Muscle tension may be a common thing but it is certainly not normal to have it These days, there are many health issues people face.

2 companions prove priceless when it comes to jet lag and travel exhaustion Face it, the holiday season brings with it lots more travel than that to which we are normally accustomed.

But, can your fellow travelers contribute to the problem? Perhaps so. Two companions, however, can be your best friend when it comes to jet la

Could magnesium be the difference between trick and treat this Halloween? It’s funny to think of minerals around Halloween but there is quite a significance to them, especially regarding magnesium. In fact, it may be the most important. While it is responsible for many body processes, one stands above the rest in this regard: blood sugar regulation. With Halloween being a “holiday of sweets” it’s clear what this means. Halloween is also a sort of gateway to “the Holidays”

Deep tissue massage is popular but how deep does it penetrate? It’s simple. You have stress and muscle tension. You seek massage therapy and get a deep tissue massage. End of story, right? Not quite.
